Christmas is approaching, the whole school is covered in snow, the lake is covered with hard ice, everyone can't wait for the holiday, I heard that because the Peverells are going to Russia to visit Phoenix's aunt at Christmas, many people want to stay with him. However, their families asked them to go home for Christmas because they wanted to know more about Phoenix.

This is exactly what he wants, and "The Secret Events and Magic of the Wizarding World" records a very magical room, the "Room of Requirement", which comes and goes, and can only be entered when one really needs it. When it appears, it is always arranged to match the needs of the person seeking help. This room is located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle across from the tapestry of the troll stick beating Barnabas the Silly. When the user concentrates on the desired site and walks through that section of the wall three times, a very smooth door will appear on the wall to enter the Room of Requirement. ”

The day before Christmas, he approached Professor McGonagall and briefly explained that he wanted to write a paper on the feasibility of the transformation of the Animagus into a magical creature, and asked Professor McGonagall to recommend useful books and a note for long-term borrowing of books in the forbidden area. Even Rins doesn't have a transformation spell like this, they can only turn into animals through potions, but they can turn into magical animals, which is better than the current wizarding world.

"Phoenix, I know you're good, but I'm going to tell you, it's never easy. Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "Are you sure you're prepared for the long term and make sure you don't miss your schoolwork?"

"Of course, Professor. I guess I'm a little clever. ”

"Well, since Professor Dumbledore graduated, there hasn't been a student at Hogwarts who hasn't graduated and has been able to put his paper on Transfiguration Today," Professor McGonagall smiled as she scribbled a long list of titles on the parchment.

Arriving at the library, the Gryffindor trio is looking for something in a sea of books. They flip through the book so fast that they can almost glance at the next page.

"Hello, it's rare that Harry and Ron are there. Phoenix's sudden appearance startled them.

"Hello, Phoenix. ”

"What are you looking for?" pushed various types of books on the table.

"Let's find another guy named Nicol Lemay, you know?" Harry suddenly remembered that Phoenix knew almost everything.

"The famous alchemist, known as the sole maker of the Philosopher's Stone, lived for more than six hundred years. ”

"What stone?" all three looked confused, and Hermione was no exception.

"The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also make an elixir of life so that whoever drinks it will never die - of course, you have to drink it all the time. ”

The three of them glanced at each other.

"That's right, that's it. Who wouldn't want it!" Harry affirmed.

"What?" Phoenix, in turn, couldn't figure out the situation.

"We think Snape is going to steal the Philosopher's Stone—" They told him all the clues they had gathered.

"There's a loophole in this, haven't you noticed?" they watched as they waited for Phoenix to continue, "Snape wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone unknowingly, and it would be foolish for him to try to kill Harry in the game." Any adult wizard will tell you that the murderer is one of the teachers present, because children are not capable of affecting a broomstick. He will be interrogated in isolation for how he stole the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"Uh-" The three of them didn't think about it from this angle.

"The library is not a place for you to chat. Mrs. Pince appeared next to them in a huff.

"I'm going to the forbidden section, here's Professor McGonagall's note. Phoenix pulled out his slip.

"You're going to the forbidden book area, you're only in the first grade, you don't need to look for it. Mrs. Pins didn't believe a word, and took the approval slip and said.

"What are you doing in the forbidden section?" asked Hermione.

"I'm going to write a paper on the feasibility of the transformation of the Animagus into a magical creature. ”

"Really? It must be very difficult, I've learned that Animagus can't turn into magical creatures. Hermione was taken aback, and Harry and Ron didn't seem to feel much about it.

"Nothing, not necessarily successful. ”

After watching it for about ten minutes, Mrs. Pins was extremely reluctant to let her go.

In order to make up for the pain of Phoenix spending Christmas alone at school, the gifts received that morning almost filled the dormitory. Eden is much faster and more convenient than an owl in delivering things. But it was still sleeping at noon, and it was a little dissatisfied with the gift of a night's gift.

The Christmas feast at Hogwarts was very grand, with a hundred fat roasted turkeys, mountains of roasted meat and boiled potatoes, but Phoenix's mind was not here at all, many students went home for Christmas, which made Hogwarts seem a little deserted, and most of the students basically didn't go out to hang out tonight after going crazy.

He had plenty of time to study the Room of Need.

At night, Phoenix made his way to the eighth floor alone, and the troll stick hit the opposite side of Barnabas's tapestry, and he didn't meet a single student along the way, and many of the portraits were empty.

I needed a place suitable for learning knowledge and dueling - three times in my mind, a smooth and unpretentious single door emerged from the wall.

Phoenix grabbed the brass handle and pulled the door open, and walked into a very spacious room with torches and warm colors, which was a good place to read a book. On the wall is a wooden bookshelf, a large circular sofa in the center, a table for discussion, and a large satin cushion at the other, and the wall is not a stone but a soft wall.

"It's amazing—"

When Phoenix was still admiring. As soon as the fire flashed, Eden appeared on his shoulder, whispering excitedly. There is a strange mirror in the room next to the library. There are so many strange things in this magic school, he decided to study it later, and this room will not run anyway.

Turning around to the room Eden was talking about, it looked like an abandoned classroom. Many tables and chairs are stacked on the wall, and a very imposing mirror stands in the center, reaching up to the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, supported by two claw-shaped feet. With a line engraved on the top, Phoenix quickly took out the book he was carrying, "Secret Events and Magic in the Wizarding World". As soon as the wand struck on the cover, the book opened automatically, and quickly turned to the page of the Mirror of Eris: Eris Stra Ehruaitubika Frua Itonwohes, and the comparison was completely correct.

Phoenix stood in front of the mirror, a boy with a phoenix on his shoulder, his soul magic still indiscriminately immune to any prying eyes and attacks on his soul.

"Good evening, Phoenix. ”

Phoenix felt the voice familiar, and he looked behind him. The man sitting at a table by the wall was none other than Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. I'm just curious, Eden found a strange mirror - "Phoenix didn't expect Dumbledore to stay at the Mirror of Eris in the middle of the night.

"It's not a sin to be curious, your phoenix is beautiful. Dumbledore slid off the table with a smile on his face, standing with Phoenix.

"It seems like you see in the mirror what you want?"

"That's right, sir. But it's vague, is it broken?" said Phoenix, with a puzzled tone in his voice.

"I don't think so. Dumbledore looked in the mirror, a flash of intense sadness in his eyes.

"Then why am I seeing a blurry picture?" Phoenix asked.

"I can only guess that your dreams are not as strong as others. Dumbledore said mildly.

"Also, I have everything now. Phoenix said calmly, looking in the mirror at an old and a young and a phoenix.

"I thought, why don't you go back to the common room and think about your paper, if you need help, come to me, Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape, and they'll tell you the password. ”

"Great, I mean, thank you, Professor. "Phoenix is very happy, if he can get Professor Dumbledore's guidance, it will definitely be more effective with half the effort.

After Phoenix left, Dumbledore stood alone in front of the mirror and muttered to himself, leaving two tears on his face.
